Our take

Comparisons to Apocalypse Now and Lord of the Flies don’t begin to get at the fevered atmosphere of this startling survivalist thriller from Alejandro Landes. Driven by Mica Levi’s pulsating score, Monos tears through Colombia’s alien landscapes, on an anarchic joyride into the heart of darkness.
